Jupiter Exaltation in Cancer ~ Seeing the big picture

Jupiter, planet of knowledge and growth, is in its exaltation sign of Cancer from October 18th to December 6th 2025.

This transit is a taster of Jupiter’s approaching mainstay in Cancer from June 2026, and you now get a flavour of the opportunities to come. At a 12-year high point for Jupiter’s affairs of protection and expansion, its planetary potential manifests according to your spiritual belief and generosity. Wherever in your chart Jupiter moves, you can expect freedom and a measure of good fortune, as your horizons enlarge and sympathetic people are on hand to support you.

In the sign of its friend, the Moon, Jupiter works on an emotional level, where your inner life receives a boost and your state of mind is strong and steady. You are open and giving to your friends and family, and should receive backing in return, in a maternal or parental kind of way. Jupiter casts its influence onto dynamic Mars in Scorpio from October 27th, and you combine good instincts with the energy to chase up a lucky break. You have an inspired touch in business and see life as a kind of sporting contest where good things are up for grabs. Jupiter turns retrograde from November 12th, and an opening from the recent past may come around again.

This may involve some consolidation or reality check with your budget, but you can see a tempting offer in a different light. You appreciate that a new ambition requires an adventurous approach and possibly some speculation and financial outlay at the beginning. Education is an investment in yourself, and you have big but achievable goals, where a teacher, law-giver, or authority figure may make a decisive difference.
